I don't know about IP ban, but who was it so we can ban the new account if the IPs match?

They can keep creating them, we can easily find them and re-ban them. Takes us 1 second to ban an account, it takes them a few minutes to re-register bogus emails and new accounts. Just to for us to re-ban again. Fun stuff.

IP bans only work if the ISP they use give them true static IPs. Since we have no way to verify that, it's hard to justify banning IPs the first time around.

What did this guy do that got him banned? I read the other thread and seen where a mod was pretty harsh with him. Sure if a guy is a douche get rid of him but i never seen a mod behave this way.
